Re: Shall I switch to superhub or not?

If DOCSIS3 performance makes a difference based on area, I am area 20 - ST4/Stoke on Trent
Back in the old days, going from DOCSIS 1.x to DOCSIS 3 usually meant you were better off, nowadays I wouldn't know as it's been so long since I've been on the old network and all new customers are put on D3 anyway.

Performance does vary by area, but the only people who can tell you what you're actually likely to get probably won't.

As for the relative merits of the Superhub, I'll leave that to someone who's actually used one on VM...
